What problems did Romans face in the 100s and 200s?
In the second century, the Roman Empire did not face many problems. There was political stability and the economy of the empire, which had developed thriving trading networks, was doing well. During what historians call the Crisis of the 3rd Century, the Romans faced continuous invasions at very distant points along the vast frontiers of their empire. The army managed to repel them, but came under great strain and became overstretched. This led to a period of military anarchy. Many of the emperors were military commanders who had been proclaimed emperors by their troops. There was a rapid turnover of emperors. Many emperors were murdered, some of whom were killed even by their own troops. There were also 35 usurpers who tried to seize the imperial title or parts of the empire. There was also a deep economic crisis caused by hyperinflation.

What were the main factors in the decline of the roman empire?
The Roman Empire suffered a long, slow, but finally sure decline between the 3rd and 5th centuries C.E. for various reasons. The lack of consistently strong and wise leadership at the highest levels was one reason. The social disunity caused by religious dissension and conflict was another. Quite distinctly, the growing strength and confidence of Rome's aggressive neighbors to the north and east was perhaps the most significant, as these "barbarians" steadily encroached upon Roman territory and wealth with increasing success.
